Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble

This Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble came out of my oven around 3pm, just in time for the kids to get their midday munch on. I brought it outside for them in little bowls…
…and they sat quietly eating it under the trees on what was a perfect spring day. When my kids are silent, it’s a good sign they are utterly satisfied; so I knew I hit the jackpot.

Of course, it wasn’t long before they were both screaming for more. If my husband comes through with Mother’s Day breakfast , I will definitely be making this again for dessert that night so we can enjoy this special treat together (along with, hopefully, a moment of peace and quiet).
